Orange you glad to be part of this forum?

Reminds me of an old classic story I just finished rereading; 'Leave Her to Heaven'.

She's just after your millions 🤪

Clarity of mind brings definite speech .

Nice morning doon at tha crik, rising sun warming everything nicely after an unusual plunge to 36 degrees early this am. Brrr. Ducks, geese paddling about and a flock of martins sweeping the airspace above the river clean of skeeters and other pests. Wild roses bursting into bloom along the road and a lone bald eagle standing a lonely sentinel in its tree watching for breakfast. Nice way to start the day.

My pappy said 'son, ....'

Mark, I certainly agree they are one dog of a kit. I'm only intending to use the body shell. Got an original amt falcon here that I've compared it to and found where I can make improvements. The engine compartment is actually decent; the chassis and the rest... forget it

Find out is what some do after fooling around.

Yes it would. The 60-65 falcon and comet sedans, wagons and rancheros used the same one. I've got one of those '64 resin wagons but it's warped beyond easy repair. Another quicker way to approach this project might be to use the trumpeter ranchero. Been picking away at a sedan delivery conversion, maybe with a comet nose -if I ever get that far 🤪 That big block converted '65 must be real rocket.

That sure is a striking project, Bill. While the moeb kits of this series make a passable replica, they suffer from a kinda amateur hour development that shows some fairly obvious proportion issues. There are some 3d files available now that provide a much more accurate replica in scale; check this link: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/hobby-diy/automotive/f-100-1970 Looks like most combinations of body types are available. Chassis from the moeb 4x4, amt 4x4 and the '78 bronco could all be adapted to these. Or check with Andy here...

Back I'll be, said the terminator...

Nothing so rare as a day in June. Rain clouds threatened all day but kept missing us until late afternoon. Skies cleared and it's been a beautiful evening with the bonus of sun setting at about ten this time of year. A couple of smokies on the fork and a cheerful little blaze to roast 'em over.

This one brought to mind another 'cowboy cadillac' in scale that some of us are familiar with

Invent something even a fool can use and <mostly> fools will use it.

The 65/66 Mustang shock towers were shared with the pre '66 Falcons. On an early Falcon you'll see a few inches more height above the shock tower in the side engine compartment metal. This was sectioned out to get the lower profile for the Mustang. Best part sources I can name in scale for a more accurate early Mustang engine compartment would be the trumpeter falcons and the amt '66-'69 falcons. They were incorrectly cast with the pre '66 shock towers. Trumpeter falcon also has a fairly accurate early '65 generator setup.

Looks like you're having fun. Did you ever find the build sheet?

Not necessarily. On the F100 4x4s, the rear track was 4" narrower than the front( same as the 2wd) as they used the '57-'72 9" diff. The F250 4x4s used the dana 60 full floating axle for the rear which matched the front track. Ford corrected the track difference on the 100/150 in '73 by using a 4" wider 9" diff.
